...incensed by Carter's appearance in the Spike Lee documentary When the Levees Broke, in which she took Jefferson Parish officials to task for turning back pedestrians trying to escape New Orleans via a bridge over the Mississippi River, lambasted Carter in the campaign's final days, declaring his "utter contempt" for the state representative while stopping short of endorsing her opponent.

There was nothing shy about Apple, though, and that was his greatest strength as a journalist. He was the furthest thing from a cynic; he was an utter enthusiast, perpetually amazed and gratified that he'd been allowed to spend his life savoring the feast of public life. "By his standards," Calvin Trillin said, ?nobody worked hard enough." Todd Purdum, the master of ceremonies, noted that Apple had 73 front-page stories - in just his first year...
